November 7, 2021 - Amazing taste! The tannins are well integrated and this vintage is certainly at its peak. I tasted tobacco, vanilla and berries before a long, supple finish

April 18, 2021 - This wine was singing! Amazing Bordeaux like bouquet with sour cherry, hay and even some barnyard, some leather and baking spices. This is classy and drinking perfectly. Red and dark fruits on the smooth mouthfeel with Ludens cough drops and black cherry pie. This was really impressive and the wotn.... I have to check out more Melka wines!

July 10, 2020 - Beautifully balanced and ultra-smooth drinking. Classic cabernet nose. Dark color, dark fruit, delicious taste. A superior wine.

January 2, 2020 - Solid Napa wine, quite smooth at first but then tanins showed. Pnp, should have tried some with a decant. Stained my tongue purple though. Not sure what that was about
